Tutorial: Using Field Tags
Some of the settings available in Ability Mail Server allow insertion of special field tags, which are replaced with important information when used. This allows messages to contain useful information, such as the subject of a mail, the current time, the administrator’s email address and more. If you want to know if a setting allows the use of field tags, the relevant section in the manual will inform you. Each tag should be used in the form ####TAG####. The table below describes what tags are available.
